Overhead Light Bulbs

Can anyone tell me the size of the overhead light bulbs in the Catalina's. Figure they will all pretty much be the same. I am going to be replacing with LED bulbs.

I have a Freedom Express but I think they are all pretty much the same, wedge bulbs. Here is my LED before and after, made a BIG difference. These are expensive bulbs, I bought them on Amazon because I've used them before and I know they last.

I had the guy pull one today that I am buying from and it is the 1141/1156 base. The LED's run about a buck a piece for the Chinese LED's. For that price who cares if they die after six months. They will sure help battery life.

Can you tell me if this fits the range hood light also?

The stove light is a wedge type. The Yorkum bulbs hbradyn linked should work but there are other brighter alternatives. I used a wedge type rear auto bulb and it is much brighter.
